China and the United States are the leading exporters of titanium tetrachloride, accounting for the largest shares of global shipments in recent years, while Germany, South Korea, and Japan remain the top importers, driven by downstream titanium pigment and aerospace material production. Imports into the European Union and East Asia have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth observed in India and Vietnam—coinciding with upward pressure on titanium tetrachloride prices amid tightening supply chains and rising feedstock costs.
Titanium tetrachloride is a colorless to pale yellow, fuming liquid at room temperature with a pungent, acrid odor and high volatility; it melts at −24 °C and boils at 136 °C. It is an inorganic metal halide and a key precursor in titanium chemistry. Its principal industrial use is as an intermediate in the production of titanium dioxide pigment via the chloride process, and it serves as a catalyst or co-catalyst in Ziegler–Natta systems for polyolefin polymerization. It is also employed in the synthesis of titanium metal (via the Kroll process) and specialized titanium-based compounds for aerospace and defense applications.
Titanium tetrachloride is used to prepare titanium dioxide and most other titanium compounds. It also is used in making iridescent glass; arificial pearls; and smoke screens. The compound is a polymerization catalyst.
Description: Titanium tetrachloride is a noncombustible, colorless to light yellow liquid that fumes in air. Penetrating acrid odor.
